Protect the Planet – Plant Trees Just over 20 years ago, for the millennium, Is now the time to start thinking again Keith Wilson, with Burnley Borough Council, about a larger scale tree planting project at Trees for Burnley, and other groups, planted Towneley?

Hall Lighting The Friends of Towneley Park and the Towneley Hall Society, have collaborated with Burnley Council to illuminate the exterior of the Hall for special occasions. With lighting from acdc Lighting in Barrowford https://www.acdclighting.com/ , plans were made in 2019, and implemented in spring 2020, to light the front of the hall with LED fusion floodlights which can be made to change colour, and this will create a special ambiance for weddings, Ghost trails, special concerts and more, as we aim to draw more visitors to the Hall’s amazing setting. Towneley Hall, is a crucial part of a visit to Towneley Park, and is drawing in events and visitors from across Lancashire and beyond. However, more help is needed to ensure the future of this wonderful, but ageing building, and everyone who visits needs to pay for their own car parking and Hall entry - both are a bargain in comparison with other similar historic sites! Help make Lighting Pathways our next venture - If you would like to help fund lights for the pathways to the hall, please visit our website www.fotp.btck.co.uk or Friends of Towneley Park facebook page, to donate and state your donation is for Lighting Pathways or phone 01282 432423 for more information.

  • Book Review: River Calder
    Book review: River Calder by Pam Norfolk [email protected] Tucked away in the well-trodden Lancashire countryside near Burnley is the mysteriously named Valley of the Goblins. The real name of this wild, isolated and beautiful spot is Thursden, part of a popular walking route which follows the River Calder. ‘Thurses’ were supernatural goblins or poltergeists in the Middle Ages and locals believed that one of their last haunts was the Thursden Valley. The ancients, many of whom were buried in this uncompromising place, also believed that the Norse god Thor lived here and created thunder by banging his giant hammer against the rocks below Rieve Edge. Within the valley is a stream which eventually becomes the River Calder, the shortest in England and one of three rivers (the others being the Ribble and Hodder) which meet in Mitton. The Calder was once described as ‘the Cinderella’ of the trio because of its industrial past but it has been undergoing something of a renaissance. The fish are coming back, over a million trees have been planted in the nearby moorland cloughs, abandoned coal mines no longer discharge into local streams and the Ribble Rivers Trust is working hard to improve the waters and to celebrate a new era for this rich and historic area, Burnley Borough Councillor and Burnley Civic Society chairman Roger Frost has collaborated with Ian Thompson and Victoria Dewhurst on this fully illustrated guide. The river passes through Holme Chapel, Walk Mill, Burnley, Padiham, Altham and Whalley before joining the Ribble near Great Mitton. It lies in the shadow of brooding Pendle Hill and its name essentially means ‘fast-flowing water.’ And the Calder can certainly be perilous.

  • PROGRAMME of EVENTS SEPTEMBER 7–30 2017 Pennine Lancashire Is Shaped by Textiles; They Are Woven Through Its Social and Urban Fabric
    PROGRAMME OF EVENTS SEPTEMBER 7–30 2017 Pennine Lancashire is shaped by textiles; they are woven through its social and urban fabric. By the end of the 19th century the area, stretching along the banks of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, was producing 85% of the world’s cotton goods and it was this global trade that brought thousands of workers to drive its mills over the ensuing centuries, building a creative, industrious and diverse population that shapes the area today. Drawing on this rich heritage, Fabrications is the UK’s first festival that celebrates and explores textiles and the textile industry through the eyes of artists. Taking place in galleries, museums and former textile mills across Blackburn, Hyndburn, Burnley and Pendle throughout September, the festival presents something for everyone with exhibitions, residencies, workshops, a craft fair hosted by Selvedge magazine and major art installations and performances including the premiere of Suzanne Lacy’s film produced with the people of Pendle.

It’s an industry that I love and admire and one that has been in my family for generations. It’s an industry alive with skill, passion and innovation; an industry with both an incredible history and an exciting future. I am delighted to be Patron of the British Textile Biennial to celebrate all of this and to ensure its future by encouraging young people to get engaged with making and manufacturing again. It’s important to Lancashire that the textile industry thrives because it provides great careers for thousands of people but also a great sense of connection with the past and a sense of pride.
